Seriously wtf is up with my piss poor posture? I really need a sports bike, then maybe I won't look like such a TARD.
Anyway, GO THE GINNY!

Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

Nothing a pair of rear sets and flat bars wouldn't fix

No - you need to ditch those god awful bars the ginny comes with....

Paul's right - your hands are too close to your shoulders ... that's why you're sitting on the bike in such an odd way ..
Those crappy bars are one reason I think Ginnies are shit to ride ... (sorry, I know you love yours ..when you get a real bike you're realise ...)
(And no - it doesn't really make your arse look big ...)

I have a very odd habit of leaning forward for some reason, I don't sit upright. Hence me looking like some form of neanderthal or monkey or something. Unfortunately I still look like one even when I'm not on the bike and especially with my helmet off!
Phew, I can relax now!

You look fine! As Paul said, the bars are way wrong and you need much lower.
Look at most pics of riders, though and many appear more hunched than you do here.
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

Most Ginny riders I've seen look like that... except for those who sit on the rear seat.

From memory Jazz who used to be a regular here before departing back to Scotland had real issues with her Ginny as she used to get the handlebars stuck when on full lock. She was petite and the sill bars would end up with one tucked into her armpit and the other out of reach and it just looked ungainly beyond reason.
I fitted some old BSA A10 pattern handlebars I had laying about. Took 20 mins or so - maybe a little longer and the bike and her comfort were transformed. The std GN handlebars are shocking things.....

An old gf had the lower bars fitted & it helped immensely. Think I had actually mentioned that to Jazz at some stage. Mind you my ex gf hopped my 4cyl CBX550 & was immediately more comfortable, at least putting around some obstacles in a carpark (I was helping out on riding courses back in the day).
Those std bars are pants.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Yup - all about the same time from memory Dave...
IMHO those bars are actually a bit dangerous.....

Reminds me of a Suzi 1200 Bandit on Trade Me that the owner had fitted cruiser bars!

But what about those square section tyres??? Are they standard on a Ginnie ?? They would make it handle like a loaded concrete mixer ..

But until you get new handle bars, try lowering the ones you have. You just need to loosen those three screws in the center of the handlebar and then it move down. You can put them even lower than mine. Try different settings and then stick with what you feel most comfortable with.

I've heard really bad things about the original tyres GNs came with. But those can't be still the original set, right? That would make them 8 years old...
